Merry Christmas! And almost Happy New year!
It's a boy! Wow - I've really started out with a lot of exclamations today :) So yes, it's a boy and we're very excited. And even better - he appears to be very healthy and right on track developmentally. We've know this for quite awhile now - but as usual I'm late with the news to the blog world. If I believed in New Years resolutions, mine would be to blog more. So instead, let's just agree that I'll make an effort to remember that I have blog - deal?
We had a really nice Christmas. Justin's parents came into town and we pretty much just did the normal things you do when family is in town. Spend time with each other, play card games, cook, etc. I think the most noteworthy thing that happened was Justin and his dad changing the porch light.
Porch light backstory: It went out about a year ago I would guess. We have not been able to figure out how to change it due to the fact that it's about 25 feet up in the air. Both ladders that we own do not reach it. It was kind of a joke that every time someone would come to the house we would ask them "Can you think of a way to change that light bulb?" So of course, we ask Bonnie & Andy. And this was the brilliant idea that Andy came up with:
Yes, we backed the truck up onto the porch, set up the ladder in the back of it, then Andy climbed up and changed the light bulb. Quite hilarious. And also quite effective. I expect the neighbors to be calling us to ask if we can change theirs any day now.
